Challenges

One of the challenges in presenting the exhibition was effectively conveying the scientific achievements within the context of the explorers' daily lives. The challenge lay in creating an engaging and informative experience that highlighted both the routine activities at the hut and the pivotal scientific investigations conducted by the team. Additionally, the exhibition sought to communicate the intense race between Scott and the Norwegian explorer Amundsen to reach the South Pole first, adding a narrative layer to the scientific focus. Balancing these elements and ensuring a cohesive and impactful exhibition presented a creative and communicative challenge.

My involvement

I worked from start to finish on an animation that was showcased on the communal table, bringing to life the explorers' daily activities, ranging from dining and diary writing to scientific investigations like the examination of penguin skeletons. This dynamic visual element aimed to immerse visitors in the explorers' world. Additionally, I collaborated on a second film projected onto the wall, recounting the compelling race between Scott and Amundsen to reach the South Pole first. My involvement focused on creating visually engaging elements that complemented the exhibition's educational objectives and brought the historical narrative to life for museum visitors.
